Well, that assert means there is a bug :). Working on fixing it.

ObservableCollection<T> is an IList, so it should pick up Enumerable support through IListOps, no?

Hans,
For Ruby and Python specific questions, the public mailing lists are preferred.
Ruby: ironruby-core at rubyforge.org<mailto:ironruby-core at rubyforge.org>
Python: users at lists.ironpython.com<mailto:users at lists.ironpython.com>
So I'm moving this to the IronRuby mailing list ...
To address your question, System.Collections.ObjectModel.ObservableCollection<T> has all protected members, so if you just create an instance and try to call a method you should see this error:
rb> $oc = System::Collections::ObjectModel::ObservableCollection[String].new
=> []
rb> $oc.insert_item "hi"
System.MissingMethodException: CLR protected method `insert_item' called for []:System::Collections::ObjectModel::ObservableCollection[String]; CLR protected methods can only be called with a receiver whose class is a Ruby subclass of the class declaring the method
However, if I subclass ObservableCollection and try to call methods I get an assert from RubyMethodGroupInfo.GetVisibleOverloads(CallArguments args, IList`1 overloads) and an exception:
rb> class OCSubclass < System::Collections::ObjectModel::ObservableCollection[String]
... def initialize
... super
... self.insert_item "hi"
... end
... end
=> nil
rb> $ocsub = OCSubclass.new
System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: methods[0]
Tomas, have any idea?

Subject: Ruby and ObservableCollection
Hi,
Is ObservableCollection implemented in IronRuby?
I am working with a student that can instantiate one [[ ObservableCollection[String].new ]], but calling the add method with a string results in a NullReferenceException.
Please respond to me directly. I just added myself to the alias, but pending owner approval.
If this is not the appropriate alias for this question, please let me know.
Thank you,
